The field of artificial life (ALife) studies 'life as it could be', in contrast to biology's study of 'life as we know it to be'. This includes a wide range of potential physical substrates, from synthetic biology (new genes), through xenob...

Multiple bio-essential elements such as nitrogen and phosphorus are found in all forms of life discovered thus far. In addition to these major elements, many transition metals have been proposed as crucial components for prebiotic and early...
Dynamical interactions among protocell populations: Implications for membrane-mediated chemical evolution [0.03%]

The spontaneous self-assembly of single chain amphiphiles would have resulted in multiple protocell species in an early-Earth 'niche'. Considering the heterogeneity inherent in a prebiotic milieu, interactions between physicochemically dist...

We consider the relationship between thermodynamics, fitness and Darwinian selection in autocatalytic molecular replicators. We uncover a thermodynamic bound that relates fitness, replication rate and thermodynamic affinity of replication. ...
Developing the Sus-Health Index: a combined measure for describing environmental impact and nutritive value of foods and meals [0.03%]
可持续性与健康指数(Sus-Health指数)的构建：一个结合了环境影响和营养价值的综合指标

Vasilis Grigoriadis et al.
There is a need to develop a commonly agreed approach that describes a food's nutritive value and environmental impact that can be used to inform consumer choice. A new single index, the 'Sus-Health Index', is presented. The index was co-cr...
Addressing food system determinants of health inequalities in urban environments: learnings from the FoodSEqual and FoodSEqual-Health projects [0.03%]
城市环境中解决食品系统健康不平等决定因素：FoodSEqual和FoodSEqual-Health项目的启示

Diet is just one social determinant of health, with obesity and diet-related illness as leading causes of premature deaths and disability in the UK. People living in deprived areas of the UK are more likely to experience poor health outcome...
The development of a silage-based biorefinery to deliver the maximum nutritional benefit for human consumption from UK grasslands [0.03%]
以英国草地为基础的青贮生物精炼厂的发展，以为人类消费提供最大的营养价值益处为目标

In this work we aimed to increase the food potential of UK pasture by coupling targeted mechanochemical processing and novel biotechnology to convert silage into edible protein and lipid fractions. To this end, the water-soluble protein and...
The children may not be the problem: evidence of acceptance and enjoyment of higher fibre breads from choice architecture studies in school breakfast clubs [0.03%]
学龄儿童可能不是问题：来自学校早餐俱乐部选择架构研究的高纤维面包被接受和喜爱的证据

Low fibre consumption is endemic in the United Kingdom (UK). Replacing refined staples with wholegrain starchy staples could increase fibre consumption. School food contributes to children's nutrition and establishes eating norms, presentin...
Strategic menu optimization could reduce carbon emissions and saturated fat consumption: a simulation modelling study of UK hospital inpatient meals [0.03%]

Interventions to improve nutritional quality and environmental sustainability often rely on 'nudging', education or (dis-)incentive-based measures. As part of the Transforming UK Food Systems Programme (Flynn et al., 2025), we recently prop...
